In this episode of The Sound.Academy Podcast I spoke with @parkerhits, who’s an amazingly talented producer that creates all kinds of melodic bass music. We talk all about his workflow and approach to production.
One thing that really sparked my curiosity was how many amazing tracks Parker releases. His output is higher than any other artist I know of, so I had to ask him about it.
When I did, I was amazed to learn Parker is able to completely finish tracks in as little as 45 minutes. Crazy right?
Parker also has very effective branding and positioning as an artist, and these are all things we also talk about during this episode.
Lastly, we even dive into the DAW to explore the project for his recent hit track, “Heart.” There is seriously so much to learn from Parker’s approach to production no matter what DAW you’re using.
